Happy New Year! [2024 Release Schedule]

Greetings!
I hope this year treats you all well. I'm happy to say that it has started off well for me.

It's been a little over 2 weeks since I got back to work on TiP, and I've made significant progress.  Things are going well. I've changed a few things about my workflow, and I think they're gonna be helpful in the long run.

I've also decided to make a release schedule for the whole year. I'm being realistic and generous with the time I'm giving myself for each update, in hopes to release them on time. So, instead of an update each month, I'm aiming for 9 major updates this year.
I know the number isn't as high as what we had when TiP P1 was going well, but after disaster that was last year, I think it's a good starting point. I mean, I was able to put out 4 updates in the entirety of 2023. Can you believe that? Four!

Considering that, I know a jump from 4 to 9 also sounds like a bit of a stretch, but I think I can make it.

And since I already have a plan, I figured, why not post it here? It'll either give me the push I need to meet those deadlines, or if I fail to, it'll give y'all something to laugh at.

So, here's the release schedule for 2024:

January 19th: v1.5
February 23rd: v1.6
March 29th: v1.7, Break Begins
April: Break
May 1st: End of break
June 7th: v1.8
July 12th: v1.9
August 16th: v1.10
September 20th: v1.11
October 25th: v1.12, Break Begins
November 30th: Break Ends
December 31st: v1.13

I'm also hoping to wrap up the main story somewhere around v1.12., if not earlier. The subsequent updates after that will have individual character endings.

I would also like to be more open with you guys. The complete radio silence between updates has to go.

So, I've set my reminders. I'll make posts going over my progress and plans every 10 days, starting January 10th.

I'll also try and be more active on Discord. So if you're on the server, come say Hi! (I'll probably respond 8-ish hours after this post goes live though. It's pretty late here.)

This post ended up being much longer than I expected, so uhh... thank you for making it this far. I won't take any more of your time.

Cheers, and have a great year ahead!
